Delhi court sentences man to 1-year imprisonment for electricity theft
A court here has sentenced a man to jail for a year for theft of electricity from Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL), saying the menace of electricity theft affects consumers and causes substantial financial losses to governments, suppliers and licensees.
The court also said the convict had to pay an amount of more than Rs 3 lakh.
Additional Sessions Judge Jitendra Singh was hearing a case against Bali Ram, who was earlier sentenced under the provision of the Electricity Act for “direct theft” of electricity at a parking lot.
